This is my bike in 2014 with panniers (bags) fully loaded

Riding with everything you need packed in small bags is trickier than it looks. I put the same items in the same spots every day a) to make sure I can find them in a hurry or in the dark, if needed; and b) so that when the bags are mounted on the bicycle, the weight is evenly distributed, making sure one leg doesn’t do extra work over long miles to keep me balanced.
